I am almost 35 and live in FL, but am originally from the Philly burbs and grew up with a summer home in Wachapreague…so, this area will always be very dear to me. The unique accents, in particular, will always be very nostalgic for me.
You guys should also watch the new Peter Santenello vid on the same area…it’s very good. 👍
This documentary was so well done! It’s a must see video for everyone living on the eastern shore! I want to volunteer to help save our marshes the protectors of the land. Thank you for further educating me about this dire situation.
Beautiful Documentary and Film about Climate Change and Farmers. Congratulations Farmer Cook of VA, may your legacy inspire many future generations to come and follow in your footsteps. Be the change you want to see in this world, what an amazing human being you are to this world.
This documentary is very enlightening and is disheartening. I know very little about the coast having only visited less than a dozen times in my 53 years but it's always been an amazing experience for me. To see those decent hardworking folk, families, and elderly losing their homes and livelihoods is heartbreaking! The effects of climate change are being felt literally everywhere and it's affecting agricultural farming in our region. Here in upstate NY our winters aren't the same as when I was a kid. They're warmer with much less snow, or we'll get very late season snowstorms. Spring seems to be disappearing and summers have been much hotter. Worldwide climate change initiatives needed to happen decades ago!
Beautiful documentary. Virginia is for Lovers!
I learned a lot about an area that I am not familiar with. I hope that the small farmers will benefit by improvements as well as the larger ones. I am concerned about the developing demographics. It's not only a local situation. Thank you for such a fine production. Keep it up.
Very eye opening experience.. a must watch if you love the eastern shore as I do 👍
beautiful footage! interesting topic too.
Thanks!
I have a summer home in Wachapreague . Truly an amazing place
Instead of sending money to other countries the feds need to invest in these areas. Imagine how 300 billion dollars would benefit these beautiful areas that are vital to our ecosystems.
The Eastern Shore will never have the financial influence to avoid what we have seen coming since the 70's. But, folks then offered prayers of denial instead of infrastructure. The world is way pass prevention of climate change. Trillions of dollars will not allow the Eastern Shore to continue into another 150 years. The chicken factories will close in the next 20 years because of population lose. Population loss caused by jobs/housing elsewhere. Why would you go into a mortgage @ 275,000$ for a home that the potable water stinks and the commodes occasionally burps. The low labor cost that brought them here in the late 60's is challenged today by everywhere else. Exmore, 1952.
But we need to bail out Ukraine, jack! Cmon man!
Sad but true.
The investment should be made in moving people away from vulnerable areas. The Homes in this area will surely be ruined by hurricane.
How about over $1 trillion in Iraq(a war based on false intelligence) and $1 trillion in Afghanistan. 20 years of idiotic “nation building “.
Good film
I understand that this is happening, but how does one place have sea level rise over another? When sea level is level, are you leaving out the land subsidence? If so, why?
The sea level rose is worldwide. Watch the videos on Polynesian islands.
Cover the 8 decades of weather modification then you might have something
No mention of the corporate tomato and pepper farms and the migrants who work them. Hmm. Couldn't you find a land owner to talk to?
This video is liberal bs ... but I love seeing the eastern shore
